Hi All

I am in the process of building a Hyper-V lab for home and am looking at the following setup:

  • Intel Xeon® Processor E5-2620 v2 (15M Cache, 2.10 GHz)
  • Supermicro DDR3 1066 LGA 2011 Server Motherboard X9SRI-F-O
  • Kingston ValueRam KVR18R13D4K4/64
  • SanDisk Extreme PRO 480GB SATA 6.0Gb/s (For VM's) - I might get two and stripe them
  • SAS9211-4I 4PORT Int 6GB Sata+sas Pcie 2.0 - To give me additional SATA 3 Ports
  • Corsair CX Series CXM600 600W High Performance Modular Power Supply
  • Corsair Obsidian Series 750D Black Full Tower Chassis

I need a system that can handle 64GB+ memory and should be relatively future-proof but still reasonably priced. I am looking at running 10-15 VM's on this server.

Any recommendations and/or pitfalls you can see from the above list?

Thanks
